Truth and Reconciliation calls to action progress too slow, Indigenous advocates say

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission represented a national reckoning when it issued its final report nine years ago. It examined the decades-long systematic attempt to destroy Indigenous cultures and force assimilation by removing children from their homes and into residential schools across what is now known as Canada.

That work culminated in a reconciliation road map with 94 calls to action – of which only 13 have been completed, according to an Indigenous-led research organization.

The Yellowhead Institute says zero new calls to action were implemented last year, and that overall progress is so slow it’s no longer worth tracking.
Melissa Ridgen spoke to stakeholders about what has stalled on the reconciliation journey.
